I am nonspecifically[*] seeking players who do not share the same skin color and gender as myself in order to intentionally invite the party to be gender and race-diverse. This kind of party composition doesn't happen organically, or by accident, or through nonspecific liberalized invitation, it happens by specifically inviting historically uninvited and marginalized people to play the game. Link to my game: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/158050/gm-gonzos-guide-to-everything" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/158050/gm-gonzos-guide-to-everything</a> The players: This is a roleplaying heavy group that explores, speculates, creates and has fun. The Dungeon Master: DM Gonzo is a sociologist who is studying real life (RL) culture that is born, lives, and moves around gaming, especially roleplay gaming. He also teaches Social Work and Sociology at Austin Community College. Gonzo has experience as a DM that dates back to AD&D 2nd Edition. He loves telling stories and, frankly, helping player characters find a way to defeat the bad guys! Huzzah! Gonzo knows that his bias for the players must be governed by the rules! Otherwise, it would just be a room full of magic items, with no other plane of existence, i.e. unless it was an exact mirror of the same room, and that mirror was an image of the room, and so on, you get the point. DM Gonzo invites 3-4 people to join him for a regular Saturday evening game. The party will start with D&D 5e's "Underworld Speculation" and then move quickly into custom content that will be intentionally derivative of popular media (isn't it all? :wink: ). The players will be faced with social problems as well as more traditional high and low fantasy "monsters". P.S. Gonzo understands the difference between... ... tokenism and inclusion : from the link above: " How do you make the transition? "Have more diverse staff/interns/programmers. INVITE a greater range of perspectives to the planning table. If it’s a formal position, consider lived experience as an important quality in an applicant/candidate/team member and include that in the application. Don’t compromise talent, but if you’re not getting the talent, ask why. Consider how to develop a more diverse and skilled base to pool future talent from. Who can you partner with to help you achieve that?" Applications: Your character should be fully developed 3rd level 5e D&D character from Xanathar's Guide to Everything. Your character bio should be detailed and contain elements of culture, religion, politics and family history.

This will allow you to best attract the gaming group you wish to play with instead of attempting to repel those you don't. Additionally, we ask that you refrain from creating a post seeking someone of a specific[*] different background (such as creed, disability, gender, orientation, race, etc.) than yourself. While we appreciate a desire for inclusion, such posts specifically targeting a group becomes an issue of tokenism-- looking to fill a spot with someone removed of their individuality save for that specific descriptor. Any attempt to discourage others from playing through the use of bullying, discrimination, or harassment, is subject to the same moderation actions as outlined in the Discrimination and Harassment section of the Code of Conduct. Infringement of this section is subject to moderation action as outlined by the Moderation Policy in the Roll20 Code of Conduct.
